Additional media offerings available at www.mhhe.com/shigley include:

Student Supplements
• Tutorials—Presentation of major concepts, with visuals. Among the topics covered
are pressure vessel design, press and shrink fits, contact stresses, and design for static
failure.
®
• MATLAB for machine design. Includes visual simulations and accompanying source
code. The simulations are linked to examples and problems in the text and demonstrate
the ways computational software can be used in mechanical design and analysis.
• Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam questions for machine design. Interactive
problems and solutions serve as effective, self-testing problems as well as excellent
preparation for the FE exam.
Instructor Supplements (under password protection)
• Solutions manual. The instructor’s manual contains solutions to most end-of-chapter
nondesign problems.
®
• PowerPoint slides. Slides of important figures and tables from the text are provided
in PowerPoint format for use in lectures.
• C.O.S.M.O.S. A complete online solutions manual organization system that allows
instructors to create custom homework, quizzes, and tests using end-of-chapter
problems from the text.
